Despite what they say…

Has anyone ever told you that you couldn’t do something? That all odds were stacked against your favor. Maybe it was a friend, a teacher, a doctor, a parent, someone whose opinion you trusted. You listened intently and they told you things like… you may never walk again, that boy will never love you, you’ll never finish high school, you’ll never complete that race, you’ll never live to forty… but despite what they said you went ahead and did it anyway. These kinds of stories make great TV and inspiring news stories, and we may think, ‘wow, that person is amazing,’ but I believe we all have stories like this of our own. So today, when you’re wondering whether or not you can finish that project on time, cook that dinner for your family, run that extra mile, think about all the things you’ve done in your life that they told you you would never do. Then despite what they say, go out and do more. Because, while I may not be your friend, your doctor, or even someone you know, I still have faith that you can do it all!
